The pump is the new electronic power steering pump. Prior 2012 the pump was driven off the engine with a belt

It looks like I lost 1" up front, nothing in the rear (didnt expect to) measured from the garage floor to the bottom of the rock rails. I have some 17/59 JKU springs I plan to install to hopefully gain that back and maybe a bit more.

I love the look. The skid is their new design for the rubicon to protect the sway disconnect. I need to add some O rings or rubber washers on the shackles and wire the winch.

I included a pic of the offending pump in its new location.
